This product is an artistic representation of the subject matter, which is inspired by the Fairchild-Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II. IRIS Flight Simulation Software does not endorse and is not endorsed by, or otherwise linked to, Fairchild-Republic or its owners.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. The A-10 was designed for a United States Air Force requirement to provide close air support (CAS) for ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets with a limited air interdiction capability. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.

The A-10 was designed around the GAU-8 Avenger, a heavy automatic cannon which forms the aircraft's primary armament. The aircraft's hull incorporates over 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of armor and was designed with survivability as a priority, with protective measures in place which enable the aircraft to continue flying even after taking significant damage.

A well configured FSX installation with minimal background processes is also recommended. Please note that all products are tested and evaluated using default settings and a default FSX installation to ensure a fair evaluation process. Addition of other 3rd party software MAY affect your performance and experience.
